It’s supposed to be enjoyable and played for fun, not a serious test of how much someone’s life they’re willing to dedicate to the next set of pixels.

But stuff like that IS enjoyable to some people. Some people enjoy putting in a lot of time and effort into attaining a goal, and this is one of the only remaining games that still has longer term goals and hasn't been made quicker and quicker to appeal to more casual people. Advocating for that in this game is obviously going to upset some people in the community.

That being said, I still play because it’s FUN. That’s the important thing. No 8–12 hour days trying to reach that next meaningless milestone.. it’s much better this way, and I don’t think it was intended to be a full-time job.

Yeah, the game is supposed to be fun, and if you don't enjoy training RC/Agility/Mining, is it going to be any more fun for you if you woke up and it was 2x as fast? No, it's just going to take half the time, but you're going to hate it all the same getting there. I don't enjoy killing Zulrah, so I just don't do it. I don't ask for it to be made easier, or for kills to be made faster, or anything like that. I don't understand the mindset behind people who feel they NEED to get 99 RC or max cape, but don't enjoy the process of getting there and just want it sped up. As you said, this game is a game and not a job, and if you don't enjoy training the skills, there's literally thousands of hours of other content you can enjoy.
